The world spins on a thin disc made of corrupted stability.

And the thing is, it's almost universal across everything humans touch and it isn't just terrible, shady shit like a company tossing 50k computers in working order just because it ended up being a cheaper option over finding a buyer, I mean shit like this.

Like only an idiot takes everything at face value and follows the system to a T and everyone knows it, everyone abides by it, everyone suggests by it, and law enforcement ignores it.

There's a parallel world where no one pirates anything, books are $30 each and cops chase actual problems. There's one bathroom with an asterisk next to it, the old don't have to work because they're easily paid for, people retire before 55, people drive on the right side of the road and pass on the left(in America), all because literally everyone does what they're supposed to do.

...but like, nah. That's sooooo hard, apparently.
